I can SO relate to your feeling of *needing to read to relax! Honestly, what else is there?! It does take a minute to think about other hobbies!

Walking is quickly becoming a new favorite way to relax. I don’t know that it beats out reading, but it’s right up there!

Hello, hello! Well, a week without reading has never occurred to me. I mean, HOW? But also, look at all the life that happened in a short time of reading deprivation! I am going to chew on this for a bit :)

Oh my goodness—a week without reading! It never would have occurred to me, but I can see the value. Can’t wait to hear how the rest of it goes! I hope the extra writing time means another Substack post soon :)
